hi,
i've got a Micron computer with a ps/2 style mouse.
i recompiled the kernel adding the lines mentioned
in the FAQ to the config file.

device psm0 at isa? port "IO_KBD" conflicts tty irq 12 vector psmintr
options PSM_NO_RESET

i recompiled the kernel and there were no error messages.
but when i reboot i get the following message during boot:

psm0 not found at 0x60

and when i try to start X windows it quits with
a message saying that the mouse isn't configured,
though i'm using the same XF86Config file (and same
hardware :-) i was using successfully with linux.
any help is appreceiated.


thanks,
amaresh
